{"product_id":"9781466882010","title":"The Israeli Mind: How the Israeli National Character Shapes Our World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIsraelis are bold and visionary, passionate and generous. But they can  also be grandiose and self-absorbed. Emerging from the depths of Jewish  history and the drama of the Zionist rebellion against it, they have a  deeply conflicted identity. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for  the collective, but also to sacrifice that very collective for a  higher, and likely unattainable, ideal. Resolving these internal  conflicts and coming to terms with the trauma of the Holocaust are  imperative to Israel's survival as a nation and to the stability of the  world.\u003cbr\u003eAlon Gratch, a clinical psychologist whose family has lived in  Israel for generations, is uniquely positioned to confront these  issues. Like the Israeli psyche that Gratch details, \u003ci\u003eThe Israeli Mind \u003c\/i\u003eis  both intimate and universal. Intelligent and forthright, compassionate  but sometimes maddening, it is an utterly compelling read. Drawing on a  broad cultural and historical canvas, and weaving in the author's  personal and professional experience, \u003ci\u003eThe Israeli Mind \u003c\/i\u003epresents a provocative, first-hand portrait of the Israeli national character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144006779120,"sku":"9781466882010","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466882010_p0.jpg?v=1769892036","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466882010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
